Hey all I'm back...lol. I had to modify the DD 12V71-TT. The turbos were sticking up to high. I had to drop them down about 5mm. This way I can get the hood to clear them and fit a air intake pipe system. Here are some pictures for yous to perose. This view shows the lower intake plumbing. I need to shorten the intake pipe about 3mm so I can add the intake plumbing to the air cleaner. This view shows the engine in the frame with the cab in place. This view shows that I have to add 15" to the rear of the hood. Well that's it for now be back soon with more updates. Ron G

Sweet Gary

I here you Gary, it really sucks getting old...lol Ron G

Don't you just hate those butter fingers...😆🤣😂 Ron G

It's going to be a B-61,not 65

Cool, wasn't if you knew or not. It looks good though. Ron G

Take what ever time you need Tom, don't try to rush your recovery. That could lead to something bad. My son was 42 when he died of what we belive was a stroke. 😢🫤 Ron G

Hey Scott I'm not sure but didn't the "B" model have straight frame rails?🤔 Ron G

Thanks Gary Yeah, one of these days.🙄😉 Ron G

Hey Gary Sounds like a real cool build. Not trying to highjack your post, just something for inspiration. Good luck Ron G

Not a fan of globals stuff. To thick, don't like the way they print the interiors in one peice. 🫤 Ron G

I sent you a link.

Hey Gary Paul has that suspension system for $25.00 US Ron G

I second what Jeff said. Thaose are great drive tires. Now you need a more aggressive front float. Ask Jeff what he used on his Autocar build (I think) Ron G

Hey Brian those are freaking amazing! Ron G

How about a long flatbed. Ron G

That looks bad a** Gary. Ron G

Looking good Lee. Kinda looks like so many trucks like this you would see on the East coast in the day.👍🏻 Ron G

😆😂🤣😂

You are most welcome. Ron G

Hey Gary Looking great, but now you need to add some meng bolt heads to the mounts for the fenders, that will top it off for sure😁😉👍🏻 Ron G

Anytime Pal, here to help. Ron G

Hey Gary Nice project, but you should rotate the brake set up so the air cans will clear the spindle mount, either to the front or rear about 15°. Ron G

Those are definitely sweet Gary.😁😉 Ron G

You can get scale yellow straps from ST Supply.
